While looking for the best char kway teow stalls, we stumbled upon Cuppage Fried Guo Tiao in a user-submitted post on the Can Eat! Hawker Food Facebook Group. This fairly hidden hawker stall on Upper Cross Street is highly raved by foodies for their fried-to-order char kway teow, priced from an affordable $3 a plate.

According to reviews online, their CKT is on the wetter side. Each plate comprises a generous serving of yellow noodles and flat rice noodles, crunchy beansprouts, scrambled egg, and fishcake slices, all tossed in a sweet and savoury dark soy sauce mix. It’s ugly-delicious at its best, without the hefty price tag.

Those who love hum should go for the larger $4 serving, which includes a heaping spoonful of cockles. The $4 and $5 portions also come with more liao, such as sweet lap cheong AKA Chinese sausage.

This stall is fairly popular among those who work in the area, so try to avoid the peak lunch hour as it can get crowded.

Another hidden gem in Chinatown is Small Bites, an under-the-HDB kiosk near Maxwell MRT Station that sells cheap pandan waffles and handmade curry puffs.
